A new wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ukraine, which began in the summer of 2021, was characterized by almost exponential growth of smoothed daily numbers of new cases. This is a matter of great concern and the need to immediately predict the dynamics of the epidemic in order to assess the possible maximum values of new cases, the risk of infection and the number of deaths. The generalized SIR-model and corresponding parameter identification procedure was used to simulate and predict the dynamics of this epidemic wave. The new COVID-19 epidemic wave in Ukraine will begin to subside in mid-October 2021, but its duration will be quite long. Unfortunately, new cases may appear by the summer of 2022.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
